Thanks Michael.

I have never done DB work with SQL, so I have no clue how to do what you
make sound is so easy to do. If I did, I'd be happy to do it, as I did
like the GRM application. The interface was pretty nice. But once I
imported the MM recipes from the MM site, it brokededit. Uninstalling
both it and the GTK tool kit didn't help. So yes, either edit the
database (I have no skill there), or uninstall/re-install it, which
would break other applications that were already using it.
